Saturday afternoon, Historic City News was notified that two county departments, St Johns County Fire Rescue and St Johns County Beach Services, were presented a handicap-equipped beach chair that will be used to assist disabled citizens who want to enjoy our local beaches.
According to spokesman Jeremy Robshaw, the chair was donated by the Beaches Council for the Disabled.
“We would like to give special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Larry Thomas for their generous monetary donation which allowed this chair to be purchased and put into action on St Johns County beaches,” Robshaw told reporters.
The chair is made of PVC pipe and has 21” “Wheel Ezz” tires that make it very easy to roll through soft sand; enabling disabled adults or children to enjoy the beach.
To reserve or use the beach chair, residents and visitors can make contact with St Johns County Beach Services at (904) 209-0752.
